@@debs_hiking_journey oh wow, you’re out there now, fantastic, such an amazing hike; it’s beautiful, every day was amazing 🤩 each section was breathtaking, loved every moment. We had bad weather on the first few days, then were lucky for the rest - I hope it clears up for you 😀🙏 if not, it’s still an amazing adventure none the less.

@@Bushman_sam good question Sam, I’ll have a look and let you know how I go 👌

@@joe_outdoors_australia thanks! I would really appreciate that

If you want a sealing lid. The Soto lid works!

@@Bushman_sam Sorry for my late reply, very late - yes, it does fit, not as snug as the jetboil, but it does fit.

Hi Nikki, thanks for your message. The pillow is a THERM-A-REST COMPRESSIBLE PILLOW - what I use to hold it in place is an old T-shirt, which I’ve cut the sleeves off and shortened the length of it - works a treat, nothing worse than having your pillow sliding around all night when trying to camp out.

The jacket is gunmetal and pants are black 🙂

@@joe_outdoors_australia thanks man!

Not that I am aware of, there were no signs indicating other. The trail is also the start of the cream track, which is closed, as it leads through private property. You could hike the cream track in past, a permit was required, but it is now closed and permits are unattainable. However, Gorge Falls, there were no signs indicating private property or trail closed at the time of this video.

Thankyou so much

Hi Carole, I use the zpacks water bottle sleeve, it’s very lightweight and I find it convenient to grab a drink while on the go

Hi Carole, I always had my food bag right next to me at night and made sure everything was sealed within. Food scraps were kept in a seperate resealable freezer bag in the front pocket of my backpack. Thankfully I didn’t see any rats or possums at night near the tent or in the communal shelters.

Hi, phone reception dropped in and out along the trail. on the ridge lines and peaks it was fairly good majority of the time but dropping into forest and on lower ground there would be none. I definitely didn’t have phone reception on many occasions, and the times I did, it was usually 3G

Hi Annette, I went last September - I think it’s one of the best times to visit, as all the wild flowers are in bloom - so beautiful 🤩

I can’t remember if I could see it.

It has one zipper for each pit zip

This video was from a few years back so I can’t exactly remember what the weather was like. However, it does get cold there in winter and even Autumn and early Spring, the mornings and nights can be cold

I don’t think I spotted it by memory.

Me too

It is a great feeling 🙂

Thanks Sean 🙏

winter it gets very gold at night and in the early morning, but for the rest of year its quite warm.

How good is it - tough slog but so worth it 🙂

Thanks Carole 🙏

Thanks Carole, I appreciate the feedback and so happy to hear you enjoyed them🙏

Hi Dawn, yes, it is the gunmetal color.

Thanks Nigel, that’s a pretty interesting observation, all of what you said makes good sense. I appreciate the your comment, there’s some good things to take from that, thanks again 🙏

Based on what you said I would think the jetboil would win in weight savings. On a 5-7 day trip the extra weight wouldn't matter, anything longer and the added trouble of sourcing and carrying new heavier canisters would make it a no brainer.

@@michaelbeary yes wins in a corner case where your fuel needs are just under one canister where the Jetboil avoided a need to go up to a larger / another canister. But there's other issues than weight, while you can live off dehydrated food for a very long time you find you're fed up with it after 3-5 days and want to cook more variety and the Jetboil can't really do that if you try you end up bringing another pot type and you've got no benefit from the fins under the supplied pot. While I own a Jetboil I tend to go either 2-nights meths or 5 day Toaks with the odd pub meal / takeaway / convenience store food 1-2 days. A shallow wide pot and a Ti "plate" which you can also fry stuff in gives an example variety you'd not get with a Jetboil.

Thanks Sean, it really was - the landscape was so beautiful 🙏

Thanks Andrew, I’m glad my videos offer some help in prep for this hike. Ha, yes, day one, there was lots going on - but loved every moment. How exciting, you’re hiking the GPT later this year; I hope you enjoy it as much as I - it was a spectacular hike. Thanks for the feedback - all the best 🙏

I feel your pain; it’s exactly the same when hiking on trail 😑 Very difficult to regulate body heat and keep dry at the same time.

Umbrella...?

@@Messiahs wind usually comes with rain where I live

Hi Errol, thanks for the comment. If I’m ever concerned about a certain hike, then I won’t go unless I’m able to have another person with me and have the mindset that I can turn back if I feel it’s above my experience or comfort level. Some of this track is very uneven, there’s lots of rock hopping and negotiate tree roots and rutted sections - very unstable ground in spots - so it must be approached with caution…. In saying this, it’s my personal opinion - and everyone is different. Above all, always hike safe 🙏

Hi Jack, thanks for the comment. I didn’t find it hard, I followed the creek and it was pretty straight forward. 🙂 I went on a week day and didn’t come across anyone - but on weekends I believe it gets quite busy. Cheers Joe 🙂 instagram.com/joe_outdoors_australia?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

It may be a bit tight, I didn’t try as I was fearful of tearing the pants .. My hiking boots are bulky, so I removed them each time.

Hi Sean, yes, and they worked extremely well; got some good use out of them on this hike - especially day two - periods of heavy rain and very windy - the jacket and pants held up extremely well. Being so thin, I was sceptical, but happy with the investment after using them on trail. It was very cold and windy most days, either in the morning or afternoon - so I wore the jacket lots and pants occasionally for some warmth, again, performed really good for wind protection as well as rain.

Thanks Sean, I really appreciate the positive feedback 🙏

That’s awesome, thank you 🙏 such an amazing hike, I hope you have a great time 😄

It’s such a great place, I hope you have a great time on your future overnighter there. I seem to have the best sleep ever there, the sound of running water in Barney Creek is soothing, very peaceful place 🙂

Hi Austin, I’m 6ft tall, hope that helps. Cheers, Joe
